Also known as Mortgage Market Intelligence and Sourcing Manager

About The Role

To maximise West One’s origination through sourcing and distribution channels across Residential, Buy‑to‑Let, Second Charge, Bridging, Commercial and Development Finance — and to deliver the market intelligence that directly shapes our product, pricing and criteria decisions.

Key Responsibilities

Distribution and Sourcing

  • Lead relationships with sourcing, criteria, affordability and other distribution platforms, negotiating commercial terms to drive value and reach
  • Own the accuracy of West One’s products and criteria across all sourcing and criteria systems — including sign‑off controls for product loads, and logging and resolving any load errors
  • Manage end‑to‑end execution of product launches, rate changes and withdrawals across all platforms, covering broker communications and go‑live timelines
  • Act as business owner for distribution technology integrations including DIP APIs and pricing engines — defining requirements and collaborating with IT to deliver solutions

Market Intelligence

  • Monitor competitor rates, fees and criteria across all lending lines using sourcing platform data and additional market sources
  • Analyse West One’s ranking and placement by product, LTV band and channel — identifying where pricing or criteria are limiting volume
  • Conduct gap analysis to understand where our products are filtered out during broker searches, recommending criteria adjustments to the Product team
  • Develop data‑backed pricing and positioning recommendations to inform Product and Pricing strategy

Reporting and Governance

  • Prepare regular market intelligence covering channel performance, placement share, visibility and return on investment for Product Managers and senior leadership
  • Deliver distribution and customer outcomes intelligence to support target market monitoring, fair value assessments and product governance in line with the Consumer Duty
  • Collaborate with Product, Compliance and IT teams to ensure new products and channels launch accurately and on schedule

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
